It was our first time to try Marino's today. We loved how tasty their pizzas are and how fresh they were. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. We will definitely come back. Thank you Marino'

Great food at very reasonable prices. The starters were massive though good. Main course was very good. No room for pudding, ?

I used to visit the restaurant a lot when I lived in Preston and it was one of my favourites. We were in the area and I wanted to stop in on my way through.It was great to see that the restaurant was still doing really well - it was completely packed at 6pm on a Friday.I ordered the mussels in cream to start and my partner ordered blue cheese mushrooms. We were both really disappointed with our starters. The mussels were over cooked, small and bland and the sauce wasn't very tasty. The mushrooms were bland, rubbery and small.At this point I was worried that the restaurant had reduced down on quality to keep prices low. HOWEVER, this concern melted away when we had our mains - they were both fantastic!I had the Crispella and my partner had the steak in peppercorn sauce. The sauce in the Crispella was delicious, the crepes were deliciously soft, the spinach was super garlicy and the ricotta was tart which just resulted in a fantastic dish.The steak was cooked to perfection, as were the potatoes and veg, and the sauce was truly delicious.We were seated at the furthest corner of the restaurant and had quite a few instances of waiting a long time to be served (when ordering or meal and after we'd finished). There were a lot of waiting staff and they seemed quite attentive for the other tables, but we kept missing out.The meal was just over £40 (we didn't have any drinks), which I feel was a great deal. We may have just been unlucky this time with the starters, but they definitely needed improvement.

This is a very nice Italian restaurant. We booked a table for a large group on a Sunday afternoon and we were well looked after by all the staff. The menu is great with a huge choice of pizza and pasta dishes. Staff were so helpful organising a birthday cake for our celebrants. They even sang happy birthday complete with clashes of cymbals! Prices are reasonable too. Many thanks to all staff for a special birthday treat!Parking: Felt a bit sorry for the local residents as we had to park in the street. I?m sure this will cause problems at times!Kid-friendliness: Small portions were available for kids.

Ruby was an enthusiastic and helpful waitress with a lovely smile. Our food was delicious and great value for money. The service was faultless. Keep doing what you're doing ?NB: the Pinot Grigio wasn't chilled enough for my liking ?

Came on Tuesday for my Mums 75th birthday and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were a large party but the food came out all together and was delicious. Staff are brilliant and so polite. Not our first visit and we will be back again. Thanks to Marino's for a great birthday for my Mum.

Went for a family meal for Wife's birthday. It was really busy and I had reserved a table for us all. Service was okay considering how busy it was, and the food was good but not blown away. I found it very loud in the restaurant there were a lot of people packed into a small space with low ceilings, We found the noise distracting expecting to go out for a quiet meal. It was a nice place to go for a change, but we won't be regularly visiting.

The food is incredible, we have been a few times. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is always fantastic.The staff are very accommodating with dietary requests (ie. Vegetarian) and this is easily our favourite place to eat in Preston.

Sssh don't tell anyone but the is a real gem of an Italian restaurant. Visited for the first time last night with family for my birthday. Was impressed with the excellent choice and reasonable prices. I chose the Crespella pancake to see how it compared to Salvatore's and Angelo's. Was not disappointed. It was delicious and currently is No. 1. The tomato garlic bread was really moreish and 3 of us shared the cheese platter to finish. Nice service and only criticism was white wine was not very cold. Will defo visit again.
